I was craving homey Korean food, and the food here definitely satisfied the craving! The banchan (especially the kimchi) were soooo good, and all the dishes we got were delicious (Korean fried chicken and the nangmyun+bulogigi combo). I've tried several different bulgogi around here, and this bulgogi actually tasted like "bul" (fire). The Korean Fried Chicken was so good It's a small restaurant, but they offer many different options on their menu, so we're looking forward to trying other menu options in the near future! read more

The dduk mandoo soup and banchan at this place are to DIE FOR! My friend and i devoured our food and were super impressed by the taste and quality. Not only are we Korean American, but we have been to MANY places, so we're not easily impressed, but this place was soooo good and satisfied our comfort food fix for the week. Can't wait to go back! They have a nice mom and pop feel inside and the food came out fast. Try this place! It's a MUST! read more

After our golf gathering, we had pre-arranged our meal, so the food was ready as soon as we arrived, which was very convenient. Side dishes were available at a self-serve counter, allowing us to take as much as we wanted. The food overall tasted very good. One of the main dishes included perilla seeds, and while the flavor was not overly strong, it was well-balanced, traditional, and had a healthy feel to it. The restaurant itself was quiet and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to relax after golf. Parking was also easy, which was a big plus. read more

This place was so yummy! The owner was very nice and took real good care of us! My friend ordered for the whole table and his two daughters loved the food as well as me. We had tear apart noodles which was my first time having it and it was so bomb! I will definitely be back and it's down the street from me. read more

Kang Euni Korean Restaurant - Group Photo - Korean Near Me - La Palma, California

Amazing hole in the wall restaurant for great Korean food with super kind and attentive owners. There's ample seating inside and the side dishes were all soooo good and not ones you find as often anymore (like japchae!). Everything seems sharing portion sized and was so good. We ordered the dried radish bibimbap and the braised cod... sooo good.... I wish I could have it for the first time again. Will definitely be back again. And again. And again. read more

If you want actual Korean mom's homemade dishes this is the place to go! I love the Spicy Chicken Stew.(? not sure what it is actually called in English, 닭도리탕) Additionally all the other side dishes plus other main dishes as well. The restaurant gives you the home welcoming vibe. The service is great! read more

Kang Euni is an authentic, hole-in-a-wall kind of place. If you are in the mood for unique Korean comfort food, this place is worth checking out! Located in a small plaza in Buena Park, there's parking. Service: 7.5/10 This is a family-owned restaurant. When we arrived, only one person was working at the front. The service is a bit slow but understandable. Drinks/Food: 8/10 What really stood out to me was not the food but the unique banchan (side dishes). Most of the banchan here I have not seen at other Korean places, and they are good quality, too. We ordered the acorn noodles and the bulgogi combo , and they were good but did not impress me. I noticed that they have more unique, homey dishes that might be more worth trying. Price: 7/10 This place is a tiny bit on the pricier side for the portions. read more

The food is very flavorful and well-seasoned. The restaurant is run by older women, so the service can be a bit slow, but it is definitely worth the wait. I noticed many older Korean customers dining there, which is usually a good sign of authentic food. I will definitely come back many time. read more

Arrived for dinner close to closing time (the couple who own the restaurant were seated for their own dinner and the few back tables were not cleared). Thankfully the gentleman said we could still get dinner served. Got the octopus bibimbap : hot stone pot, we let the rice and octopus sit to get a nice crisp bottom crust . The galbi tang soup came with a very tender spare rib bone in, plus clear noodles. Broth was a little bit I enjoyed the kulkutsu dish: clear beef broth with thicker flat flour noodles, lots of sliced zucchini squash plus shredded carrots. It was very satisfying even without any meat. This used to be a poke bowl spot. Located in the plaza with a Walmart neighborhood store. Ongoing construction to update the outside of several business fronts. But this was a separate building,not part of the construction. Friendly people and family owned. Support small Asian owned businesses. read more

Kang Euni is a true hidden gem. It's a tiny spot run by a Korean ajumma who cooks like your grandma would. The side dishes were all so thoughtful, well-seasoned, and not too salty--just pure comfort. We had the cold bean noodle soup, kalguksu, and the rare Korean thistle pancake, which was incredible. Left feeling full, happy, and cared for. read more

It's very traditional Korean restaurant. Their food is epic. It is little pricey. But is worth to spend. We had chicken stew and spicy pork rib. we loved it eat all of them. We eat all of side dishes too.Definitely go back for other dishes. read more

I came here for a late lunch because it was relatively close. This place is tucked away in the plaza shared with the Walmart neighborhood market. Lots of parking- no issues. This place is very traditional Korean mom and pop place. I've only seen older ajhummas and ahjusshis here lol. Food is good here, just wish they put more proteins for the price tag haha. I got the bulgogi bibimbap dolpan and it could easily serve two people. Or soup order was the galbitang with radish leaves which is very earthy if you like that. Plenty of seats, but will get noisy with the amount of old people drinking lol. read more

Been wanting to try this place as the menus looked very authentic and guessed would have tasted like "mom's home cooking" Well, it wasn't. Service was quick and pleasant. Wide range of menus to choose from. But wasn't impressed by overall taste of the entrees nor the banchan. read more

Visited this new gem today, and honestly loved everything about it. Side dishes were delicious, not salty, not rushed, very home made. The beefs fell off the bone nicely, with no chewiness. The acorn noodle was the star of the meal today. Reminded me of the noodles I would get in Korea from local mom and pop's restaurant. Place was clean, service was nice and simple. Y'all go check it out :) read more

Arrived about 90 minutes before closing. Ordered 4 dishes and still managed to leave in time. Food: All the banchan (side dishes) were so good. Not a single bad one. My favorite was perilla leaves, just because I love the flavor, but everything was good. Anchovies were also good - spicy beef soup - could have used more beef, but this was very tasty and brought back a lot of nostalgia. It was spicy but not too spicy. - spicy acorn noodle - also good - spicy stir-fried squid with udon noodles - a big serving. the udon was very slurpable. There was a lot of spice, but it wasn't too spicy. A good amount of squid. We ended up finishing everything. - to-go: noodles in chilled white bean soup The prices were reasonable. Service: The man was friendly and helpful. The food came out quickly enough. They don't offer you extra water, so you have to ask. Ambiance: I loved how unassuming and family-feeling it was. They showed a Korean TV channel and played old English language songs. The focus is on the food. A place that Koreans frequent, so you know the food is good. The bathroom was clean, there were seat covers, the soap smelled good. Would definitely return. read more

Kang Euni Korean Restaurant - So good side dishes are good. Everything is good - Korean Near Me - La Palma, California

Pricy than other korean restaurants but food was good overall. Side dishes were delicious. Mung bean pancakes were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Strong miso was very salty. I understand miso is salty but like this was really salty. Strong miso had small pieces of tofu but other than that no other protein. Spicy acorn noodles were good but also pretty salty. read more

One of the most authentic Korean restaurants I've been to in the U.S. To start, the side dishes were super delicious and things that aren't usually served in other places. They are very hearty and delicious. I was already impressed and excited about the food! We ordered braised mackerel with kimchi and it really hit the spot like my grandma made it. The flavor was deep and rich and everything you could ask for, salty, sweet, umami, spicy, tangy, deep. It's not too overpowering either. My coworker and I did not say a single word while eating. We got another round of rice because it was that good. Also, items on the menu are priced right and pretty comparable to other Korean spots. It was hard to choose what to get because everything seemed amazing. The items offered here include what you can expect at other Korean spots, like kalbi and bulgogi. But they also have other dishes that seem more traditional, like braised or grilled fish, strong soybean stew, dried radish bibimbap... It's a bit difficult to even translate (but I just know it's gonna be legit). We see a lot of older Korean moms, grandmas, and dads at this spot so you know it's good. The owner seemed really passionate about the food too, and he was happy to see we enjoyed the meal. I am coming back here to try everything else on the menu! read more

Kang Euni Korean Restaurant - Braised Mackerel with Kimchi - Korean Near Me - La Palma, California

This place is super low key and you won't really know about it unless you live near here or by word of mouth, but to my surprise the food is very fresh, tasty and the side dishes were all very good. However it is a bit on the pricier side for what it's worth. One of their specialty is the #3 casserole/stew dish on the menu. It is soybean paste based with korean spinach and handpulled flour with added brisket. It was very good. I docked a star because I packed up leftovers and had asked if I can get a little but of their kimchi to take home with my leftovers ans he said no because they sell their side dishes so he can't pack me any unless I want to buy some. For the price of the food I just paid, I don't see why he couldn't have packed me a little bit. Oh well! read more

Now, that I have eaten here multiple times and tried many dishes, I know that the first few times were flukes. Everything tasted so good. The family that work there are friendly and the service was always prompt. If you appreciate legit authentic Korean meals, you should try this place. read more

I found this place in Yelp and I took my 1st gen Korean elders. They really liked it and there was more variety than the typical Korean restaurant. We had spicy acorn noodle (도토리 비빔국수) and that was perfect. Cooked just right and it was so delicious and refreshing w/the greens. The black bean soup (검정콩비지) was new to me but simple and good. It's ground black bean and tofu w/sesame oil. The last dish we had was braised cutlass (갈치 조림). That was ! The flavors were perfect and the radish/fish/tofu were perfect. We put out leftover rice in there and at up all the sauce at the end of our meal. Cutlass fish has a lot of bones but still worth it. The banchan (side dishes) were good, it was a bit warm in there, and you had to ask for everything (glass of water, plates, chopsticks), but it was delicious. I totally recommend this place for good Korean comfort food. read more

Amazing food and fresh! Everyone was so nice and kind! The bibimpap was big enough for two. Highly recommend.

Very authentic Korean home cooking, with tons of options from soups to cold noodles. Felt like I was eating at my mom's house. Service was great read more

Decided to try this new restaurant and I orderes total 3 meals. Each meal portion was very small, even not even enough for my 13 years old cousin. Side dish (banchan) was given only 1. Share was not possible since it was very little banchan. Wrapping/packing was sloppy, and food leaked. One of the meal was missing the main sauce, and another dish was made with not correct ingredients. Food tasted just average, but extremely salty and it is not worth $15-$23 per dish. I should have just gone to Daebak restaurant, which is near by. No good. Not recommended. read more

Authentic restaurant with lots of unique items on the menu that you don't see at other Korean restaurants! Hard to pick given so many choices, but everything we ate was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the brisket daenjang and the flavors were outstanding, he also raved about the dumplings (which can be either steamed or fried). We also had chicken appetizer and I ordered the kimchi jiggae, both of which were excellent as well! Meal was served with hot barley tea which was comforting on a chilly evening. Would highly recommend and come back here again. read more

BEST Korean food so far! We went to our normal place with a long wait then found this place! What a hidden gem. Everything was delicious!

Great food and great service . Great place to eat ‍‍. Would recommend for all authentic Korean food seekers

Possibly the best tasting Korean restaurant in the area. 5 of us shared family style the braised cod, nakji fried rice, and hwangtae soup. I was happy the main dishes were not overly sweet as other places tend to do that more nowadays. Authentic Korean cuisine doesn't use sugar or corn syrup that much. I can't wait to try different menu items. read more

We had siraeggi jungol, kinchi stew, and bi-bim-naeng-myun. Owner was nice and polite and several korean banchan came out neatly. Foods here reminds us of grandmother's house cook. We would like to come again and try some other dishes next time for sure. read more

I have to say unless you are Korean or come with a Korean you'll get service mi third time coming by my self and the never have tables available even the restaurant is empty or the employees prepping food on their tables. But when I was here with my friend "Korean" food was ok and they sell alcohol in a clear jar. Anyway don't come to this place there are a lot more better places. read more

This place serves authentic Korean comfort food. Their seasoning is not overpowering or strong. I was surprised how the good their Brisket Soybean Paste soup is.

If you are Korean, you will know the food here is legit. Just like your grandmother's. The seasoning for all their food, including their side dishes (my family and I have tried their gamja soojebi, gobchang jungol, daktoritang, kalkugsu, nakji udon bokkeum) is perfect, not too overpowering, and so balanced.. The soojebi broth was to die for. Quality service, quality food. Even my very Korean family with high expectations for Korean food never loved a place so much. Please try. You won't regret it. read more
